Maybe not used properly. Lots of them running around with those big ass MGs, but very few reviving people is my experience. TPU servers do revive more then any of the others I have been to. I don't play that class to often , but I have noticed if you are in heavy action it is easily forgot and you end up trying to save yourself first. Can you throw down a med pack and use it yourself ? I assume yes, but I usually can't make that many quick decisions in time to save my own ass. That should come with time too. I watched my son chase down a guy one night while he was bleeding out and actually jump up and down in front of him to give up a med kit then when he did they both got blasted point blank by a tank. The guys was lit up by Q the whole time. I laughed my ass off. He probably covered half the map in Panama Canal getting this guys attention. Noob or a total dick. !

Recon otoh... it seems recon was designed to also be used close up (sensors + shotgun), but every man and his dog wants to snipe from the most distant hill and drop mortars, without ever having an enemy see him.

When I have a douchebag recons like this on my team I find them and shoot them repeatedly in the face with tracer darts.

Hopefully when the m60 is nerfed (and Dice said it would be, along with the 1911), there will be less idiots running around with the medic kit just for the weapon and not for the role.

When I play medic, I always rez people rather than go for kills, the only exception being when an enemy is 10 feet away trying to kill me. Same thing with assault class, I will always provide ammo when I see the icon on the radar with someone who needs some, and I always lay down packs where friendlys congregate.

Also, as a recon I will toss motion mines at enemy flags and popular paths of travel. These are so much more important than most people realize.

What really ticks me off, however, is when I am playing engineer (my favorite class) and trying to repair a tank and the friendly in the tank just keeps running away rather than let me repair him. 9/10 times they always get blown up and I end up getting gunned down when this happens. People when I am repairing you STAND STILL, and we will both have a decent chance at survival.

Have you got "The Dentist" award yet ? I know you have killed with
the Difib cuz you got me the other night. I haven't yet and I know what
you mean about trying to repair. They make you chase them around and
because you don't get them repaired enough you get blown up trying to.
Engineer is my favorite class too.

Yeah. I got the dentist achievement. It was so satisfying. I snuck up on a guy who got out of his tank to repair it, then drilled him in the head. I then proceeded to "unrepair" the tank which still had the driver in it until it exploaded.

no there are the xbox/ps3 ones listed for pc players too - only problem is that i have had headshots with the repair drill and i havn't got the achievement listed for it - see the bottom of my stats page to see what achievements are still tracked even if you don't know it.

The previous ones were for SP, was just an example shot showing achievements.

Also for those wondering about healing yourself, yes it does work, but it does tick very slow unless you have the spec 2 upgrade, but if your using an M60 and using that upgrade over the Accuracy, your crazy. From my expirences, when I get in a fire fight where I assume the other guy just about killed me, and I toss down a health pack, I sit there for about 10 seconds, reload, gather my wits, and hope that put me back to 100%, 5 seconds seems you easily get 1 shot.

I don't know haven't checked. Why do you ask? I can say that I feel no difference in playability betwen my e8400 at stock and overclocked 1000Mhz to 4.0. Haven't checked fps. I am running at a fairly high res though so more GPU-bound.

Just a theoretical question here.. would a dual core be taxed at almost 100% on each core running this at almost 4ghz?
Edit: going to go even up my gtls, I want 3.9.....

My Phenom 955 BE (3.2 GHz) runs BFBC2 and 3 Nvidia folding GPUS at 50% load, so I imagine a dual at 4.0 should be fine.

Also, you all can have your M60s and Hot Carls, I'm sticking with my Neostead Hand Cannon and related perks. I headshot with this thing at distances previously relegated to sniper rifles. Head shot. With a shotgun. The true crime is that it doesn't give you marksmen bonus for it.

I will eventually, but its great for unlocking my Assault and Recon classes (last two to unlock). Besides, I was running around with the 870 MCS until i unlocked the Neostead last night. Oh my god. I was giggling like a little girl when I got it and first used it on Boise. Fits of little girl laughter, and I'm completely comfortable with it.
